Colin Hamer

‘Colin Hamer’s "Thomas Cranmer" presents the story of the great English reformer in an appealing manner, with an honest description of his weaknesses and failures as well as a proper emphasis on his good and endearing qualities. An additional benefit from this brief book is a readable and accurate survey of the convoluted English history during the time of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary Tudor. I was informed and inspired as I read of Cranmer, "the architect of the Church of England".’ David B. Calhoun, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Covenant Theological Seminary
